Choosing the Mash-Up

Many concepts emerging today are offering benefits derived from integrating different services pulled from a variety of sources, sometimes called 'mashups'. This brings with it a need to coordinate with multiple software services vendors and to perform software integration activities. Sidstan offers a track record in successful software integration and product delivery, leading to investor-ready minimum viable product, management of roadmap and early stage adopter deployment.

Choosing the Platforms

With multiple mobile platforms to choose to support, taking a product vision and working out the best approach to implementing your Minimum Viable Product ready for roll-out to early stage adopters can be a daunting prospect. Do you target web first and mobile later, or do you target Apple devices first, Android next? Do you use a cross-platform technology to target all mobile platforms at once, or do you invest the money to implement on iOS, Android and web all up front? Other key questions include how much investment is needed to design the UX at the early stages? How do I get value for money from the UX services supplier? Being first to market is key in today's mobile world, how quickly can we get our product to early stage adopters on as many platforms as possible? What web services and external software services do we need to integrate with, and what are the licensing requirements? Bringing the concept to reality is a complex task.
